Great Value and Great Performance
The 55U75QG is the third Hisense television we have had. The first one was in 2017 and the second one was in 2021, and the brand just keeps getting better and better as time goes on. We still have the first TV and the second one has been passed on to a family member and both are still working just fine, so any reservations I may have had in the past regarding value-priced televisions have been quashed. I am also rethinking my usual “buy the best you can afford” approach when it comes to certain products. Televisions seem to benefit greatly from the trickle-down effect and while budget-priced products may not contain bleeding-edge tech, they are not far behind and now have capabilities that should satisfy all but the most discerning videophile out there. The U7 Series from Hisense, while not at the very low end of the marketplace price spectrum, does contain a great feature set for the price point they compete at. One thing that decidedly stands out to me is the sound quality from the built-in amplifier and speakers in this TV. For the longest time when I looked at power ratings of built-in audio amps on TVs, it seemed like most were coming in at 20 watts of total power. This 55-inch set has a 50-watt amp along with a 2.1.2 speaker system that provides for a built-in Dolby Atmos experience. This TV provides audio performance that is beneficial to those who are hard of hearing and need some extra “oomph” when it comes to volume and don’t want to be burdened with the complexities and expense of an additional sound bar or audio system interface. The U7 Series also contains most of the “good stuff” currently popular in the television market including, a 4K Ultra-HD Mini-LED Pro panel with local dimming, the Google TV platform that is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, Variable Refresh Rate from 48 to 165 Hz, a Game Mode Ultra with auto low-latency, multiple HDR compatibilities, and Artificial Intelligence picture processing with upscaling capability for sources that are less than 4K in resolution. While I don’t have the capability to assign testing values to any of this stuff, those internet sites that are able to do so will have reviews out soon enough. I will say though that the 55U75QG does provide an excellent picture for those of us that do not wish to turn TV calibration into a hobby. I made only a couple of small changes, while there are a multitude of menus allowing for vast customization by those who do like to fiddle with that stuff. The picture is as good as any of the much more expensive televisions living under our roof. Some general observations I have made are: it is very welcome to get a backlit remote - EVERY TV should come with this, there is ample memory with 20GB on board, composite A/V input is via a 3.5mm mini jack requiring an adapter if your external device has the old RCA-type connectors, ALL of the four HDMI inputs are rated for up to the maximum refresh rate which hasn’t always been my observation in the past, there is a wide array of the usual jacks and ports and I can’t think of anything that is overlooked for connectivity, and Hisense includes a TWO-year warranty which is one year more than I am used to seeing on most electronic products. The TV does come with a paper “Quick Setup Guide” and there is an embedded E-Manual which provided a QR code that takes you to a version of the full manual you can view on your smartphone. Not my favorite way to read an owner’s manual, but I’ll chalk that up to my age. There is mention that you can find the User Manual on the Hisense website, but try as I might, I could not locate it. This 55 inch TV weighs just over 33 pounds without the stand and that is about half the weight of the 15-year-old, fluorescent-backlit, 55 inch TV it is replacing. The TV does not have the sexy, slim-profile a lot of modern TVs now have, but I suspect that is due to the five different speakers built in to the chassis and the need for the cabinet structure to surround the drivers and their baffling on the backside of the set. The stand for the TV consists of two very nice metal legs that securely attach using four bolts. I only mention this after having experience with TVs from other manufacturers that use plastic legs that snap into place with no attaching hardware. There is also a plastic cover that snaps over the legs to give a more finished look to the stand although the legs by themselves are very presentable. Wall-mounting utilizes a 200 x 400 VESA pattern. There are a couple controls on the bottom edge of the TV that will probably go unnoticed by most people and that is an on/off and multi-function, single pushbutton to use if the remote is not present. Short and long presses allow you to work through all of the functions. The other is a small slide switch that allows you to turn off the built-in microphone in case you don’t like smart devices that eavesdrop on your conversations, ready to accept a voice command from you (it arrives in the “on” position). The remote control, besides the welcomed back-lighting, is of an intuitive design that is easy to use and of a style that works as intended. I mention this because of another manufacturer’s remote that has a switch that toggles back and forth for volume up/down and it is very easy to depress straight down which mutes the sound, and can be very frustrating to use. The remote is a nice size and weight with a brushed metal top plate surrounding the buttons and it feels good in the hand. The Hisense U7 Series of TVs should please the frugal shopper with their price point, yet have enough features and performance to make the discriminating shopper more than happy. Remember the money you saved when in a few short years you get the yearning to upgrade to a new TV that has managed to find even more features and performance to warrant an update. Hisense continues to step up their game and it obviously shows in their product line for 2025.
